Allow me to introduce myself and my knives.
I'm not really a huge folding knife guy, but when I started looking around, Spyderco seemed to be capturing the essence of what I wanted. I cut things every day, usually it involves string and rope, sometimes plastic and paper bags. Other times vegetable matter, and animal parts. I'm not a knife snob, but I do appreciate quality steel, and well made tools.
Delica got the most pocket time for EDC until I just got the Tasman. I love that knife, and I'm not usually a serrated type of guy, but the Spydie edge gets it done and done well. And coupled with the hawkbill it was made for cutting rope well.
I like the blade style and handle on the Stretch, but I have not connected deeply with it yet. To get the knife to open well, the pivot loosens to a point where the blade play is unacceptable. I disassembled and polished blade (I will try to not have to do that again, took me a while to reassemble). Still not doing it for me though.
I'm' still getting to know Endura, seems like a nice blade.
The Military is perfection to me. Perfect balance, excellent blade length, and handle size. Solid lock up with generous amount of steel being held in the handle. If I could only have one, out of what I own it would be it. In fact, I would like every Spyderco I own from now own to have the spirit of the Military.
I've handled the PM2 and was impressed but the cutting edge to handle ratio seemed a little off. Maybe I was having an off day, and I do plan to get one when they become available for a decent price again.
To conclude, I would love to have an enlarged Tasman blade placed into a Military handle, and I would conquer the world one cut at a time!!!

p.s. Just got the Ladybug salt hawkbill serrated edge, NICE!
